Question

Successfully having activated her device, Prof. Marcia Grail proceeds to wreck science based havok for profit. The device she was activating generates electromagnetic radiation, at any frequency, at constant intensity over a 500 m radius. Since Century City is populated (largely) by human beings, approximately what frequency should she set the device to to cause the most biological damage to those humans? What will be the velocity of this electromagnetic radiation?

Answer 1

Ans:

The biological systems get more affected due to the deep penetration of the electromagnetic waves in living tissues. Heating effects generated by the Radio Frequency radiation scan be the source of biological damage. Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Energy in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

minimum Velocity of EM radiation = 1.5 * 10⁶ m/s
